DEPTH OF CUT

Refer to Figure 9.

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a

desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel

to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness which

the planer will produce is indicated by the scale.

Depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the

rollercase using handle.
